Island View Regional Park

About the Park

In 2007, the County acquired this 63-acre piece of land for a regional park. A grant from the Depart of Natural Resources paid for approximately one-third of the purchase cost. It is located in Clear Lake Township and includes 1,300 feet of shoreline on the Mississippi River.

In 2011, a master plan was completed for the park through a Statewide Health Improvement Program grant.

In 2012, the County pursued negotiations for adding 8 acres of wooded land that is located between the two sections of the park. A boat launch installation on the river is in the planning stages. Vegetation management and a plan with the Agriculture Weed Inspector were developed.
